Then he
came there to a
cave and
lodged there; and
behold, the
word of the
LORD came to him, and He
said to him,
"What are you doing
here,
Elijah?"

He
said, "I have
been very zealous for the
LORD, the
God of
hosts; for the
sons of
Israel have
forsaken Your
covenant,
torn down Your
altars and
killed Your
prophets with the
sword. And I
alone am
left; and they
seek my
life, to
take it away."

So He
said,
"Go forth and
stand on the
mountain before the
LORD." And
behold, the
LORD was
passing by! And a
great and
strong wind was
rending the
mountains and
breaking in
pieces the
rocks before the
LORD; but the
LORD was not in the
wind. And
after the
wind an
earthquake, but the
LORD was not in the
earthquake.

When
Elijah heard it, he
wrapped his
face in his
mantle and
went out and
stood in the
entrance of the

behold, a
voice came to him and
said,
"What are you doing
